Gabby Douglas' Hair Is a Big Deal on Twitter — Again. But These Clapbacks Are Everything.

Despite being a history-making black female athlete, there's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to Gabby Douglas: her hair.

In 2012, she became the first black gymnast in Olympic history to win the individual all-around title at the London Summer Olympics. But people criticized Douglas' hair then, and the trend continues now.

Twitter users spotted several people criticizing Douglas' hair and called these users out.

Gabby Douglas is pretty af but her hair...

But Twitter was ready with their clapback game.

Gabby Douglas is doing amazing things for African American gymnasts and all people are focused on is criticizing her hair. Do better people.

Gabby Douglas isn't at a hair show, she's at the Olympics for gymnastics. Who cares about her hair? Y'all sick.

The simple fact that I see I more black women bashing Gabby Douglas hair than any other race is sad. We have to do better!

Gabby Douglas is an athlete... Meaning that her hair can't obviously be laid for the Gods when she's actively competing.

Don't run away from me. I told y'all not to talk about Gabby Douglas hair #Olympicspic.twitter.com/htNenP6os7

How Douglas wears her hair while she's flying through the air, tumbling across the floor and balancing on a 4-inch wide beam is the last thing people should be talking about.

Beauty bloggers and mainstream magazines have taken credit for hairstyles that were made popular by black women — again, and again and again. Often a black woman's hair affects the way they are viewed socially, politically and economically — and even professionally.
